10th December decades celebrating International Human Rights Day, because this is the anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and adopted the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. “But the commitment is not abstract enough. We have to face inequality and intolerance – wherever and whenever we find them “- so we read in the message of UN Secretary-General on the 10th day December 2009. “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights” 10 December is International Day of Human Rights protection. In 1948, the Palais de Chaillot in Paris was signed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the UN, and also adopted the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.

Since the beginning of the world man thought and felt person. The reality, unfortunately, were sometimes different, because human nature is perverse and checked at this point, finding

“Homo homini lupus” (man to man a wolf) the famous philosopher Plautus. Why do I draw a pessimistic picture? Because as we all know, the man from the beginning

history of the subject of violence, oppression and uprzedmiotowieniu, the state of slavery and servitude. The people to people zgotowywali this fate. It is during this time developed the idea of freedom, which was born over the centuries various forms of declaration or protect the rights of personal dignity and freedom, which were modified and improved. One of the sweetest fruit of suffering slaves, violence and lack of equality was the declaration of Human Rights because they gained the name of universal principles covering

all aspects of human life. The declaration, together with the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (1966), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the two Optional Protocols: establishing the right to bring individual petitions (1966) and the abolition of the death penalty (1989) form Charter of the United Nations (Collection of Human Rights).

The International Bill of Human Rights, many conditions is formulated in a way that places the human being at the highest place and focuses on him as to ensure maximum benefit and safety.

These are m.in:

-The right to life;

-The right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion;

-Right of everyone to recognition everywhere as a person before the law;

-Prohibition of torture, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment;

-Ban on holding a man in slavery or servitude;

Non-human convictions for an act which was not a crime at the time of its commission;

-Prohibition of imprisonment merely because of inability to fulfill a contractual obligation;

-In the event of persecution: the prohibition of intimidation, torture and the use of slavery, the right to live in decent conditions of material.

It is worth mentioning that the foundations of these documents can be considered Roman law and Christianity, which was carrying in a significant way of thinking about man and his rights,

since each man was seen as “created in the image and likeness of God.”

Now the UN deals with this issue, among others, Human Rights Commission, Commission for Social Positions of Women, Subcommittee on Prevention of Discrimination of Minorities and Its Subcommittee on Defense and Freedom of Information and Press.

Despite all these efforts are still human rights violations. In Europe, they are formulated at a high level, however, it does not make it are immaculate and each state to comply with them.

Often we encounter situations where they are mistreated women and children. These cases are quite numerous and have a place not only in the Global South, where there are no conditions for przestrzegania all right because even Indeed, the absence of access to documents, but also in developed countries with high social statucie. Examples include Hungary, Austria, Bulgaria, Turkey and Poland. To combat the problem of discrimination, we need trained lawyers, social activists and, above all, people who do not allow mistreatment of others.

Speaking very generally, the world is our common home, and we are human beings, we create a family. That we are responsible for how our relationship will look like and how it will look like the lives of our brothers, sisters and children. To draw attention to this, on the occasion of the anniversary of various events are organized. Welcome!
